Less than a year ago, a single bitcoin, the most popular digital currency, could be purchased for less than $1,000. This month it touched almost $20,000 on some digital asset exchanges, and recently has been trading for about $15,000. 不到一年前，只要不到1000美元就可以买到一枚最流行的数字货币——比特币。本月，单枚比特币在部分数字资产交易平台上的价格触及近2万美元，最近徘徊在1.5万美元左右。 To put things in perspective, it took nearly seven years for bitcoin to reach the price it fetched in January before this bull run. And the current market capitalisation of cryptocurrencies represents “only” half a trillion dollars, a mere drop in the ocean of the global financial services industry which is worth many multiples of that. The most ludicrous projections are being extrapolated from the growth of the past few months. 回顾以往，比特币用了近7年才达到今年1月的卖价，之后便开启了本轮的牛市行情。各种加密货币当前的市值总和“只有”5000亿美元，相比全球金融服务行业仅为沧海一粟，后者的市值要高出许多倍。有人从过去几个月的增长势头中推断出了最可笑的预测。 |
